Tl;dr obvious issues already addressed in testing patch, wanted to get game out on stated release date to let players enjoy it regardless
I just got in bed after playing for 12h straight, and it has some minor issues, but I don't regret my purchase at all.
How's the frame rate? I saw some reports of 7-12fps from systems that kick the absolute shit out of my 2 year old gaming laptop and had flashbacks of wasting $50 on KSP2, which I still can't play despite exceeding the minimum specs. So I figured I'd wait to hear from people for a week or so this time instead of potentially wasting money on release day.
In my experience turning off dof and global illumination takes you from 20 fps to 80 (1440p, rtx 3090)
A laptop with a 1660ti 6GB got me 20-25fps 1080p low to medium around 10- 20k population. But I turned nearly everything off except for level of detail. Turning off Vsync somehow made it run around 5fps faster.
Those are pretty much my exact same specs. Asus TUF gaming?
Mine is a Lenovo Legion I got 3 yrs ago.
Also played a ton yesterday. Biggest issue I had was a small stutter every 20 mins or so when zooming in or something. Maybe with certain hardware it's having issues, high end cards or something? Overall I'm having a great time
Yeah, honestly, the state of the game is fine. Yes, they should have taken a couple of more weeks to fix up the performance, and they definitively should have chosen more sane default settings..
But, other than that, the launch state is fine. There are no major bugs, and there is nothing too major missing. A lot of things are done and designed quite well actually, I'd say.
Just give it a month or two and then look again. There's no rush, it's not a story game. But I've been enjoying my time so far.
Good, I was hoping this is one developer who won't totally deuce on their player base.
Really low bar for game studios but that's where we are.
What video card are you using and what resolution / refresh rate.
I’ve been playing on my 7840U (integrated graphics) laptop, 1440x900 low settings and FSR averaged around 30fps in early game, so not great but playable
Radeon VII (damaged from a psu failure, though). 1080 ultra, no motion blur, no AA. 25-30 fps, as expected on this card (a fully working one I'd expect ~70, it's about half dead).
They should have called it early access then it could have been a jpeg of the blender default cube and nobody would care
'Despite the technical problems outlined in our own review of Cities Skylines 2, Colossal Order says the game is “ready enough to be released.”'
Next time they're at a restaurant someone should bring them undercooked chicken that looks done on the outside but is raw in the center. When they complain? "The chicken was ready enough to serve"
Quite the hyperbolic comparison you've got there
Imperfect game is as bad as potentially fatal food poisoning, obviously.
my dad died from playing Cyberpunk on release RIP in peace
Hey dude, Colossal Order and Paradox gave them salmonella, how could you be so callous!
A better comparison would be a raw steak when the customer asked for medium well.
Hey guys the chicken is going to be undercooked depending on your tableware so don't order it yet if you think your chicken will end up undercooked.
I'M GONNA ORDER THE CHICKEN! WHY IS THIS CHICKEN UNDERCOOKED? WHY WASN'T I WARNED?
